Excellent post, Andy. You can see how the pea aphids are trying to scape from the claw of the predator. They are small but no stupid. You did very well to capture all this three into DOF. The texture on the ladybug is very good. Thanks for posting.

Razorsharp details on both the Ladybug and it's prey and the leaf. Good colors and perfect POV & DOF. In a perfect world the space you have in the right, would have been on the left. A minor nit though. A great picture. Well done & TFS!

Bon apetit you great Ladybird! Eat all of those stupid aphids ;-) Great scene Andy, Ladybirds are quite popular on TN but I didn't saw many of them with aphids. Great post.

Excellent macro Andy and 3 for 1!
Very sharp and detailed down to aphid size!! Great color also..If you had room in the original, space left instead of right would improve this one..Very well done!

A fantastic capture, great detail. I personally find the blue flower quite distracting.
Great pov, those aphids haven't got a chance!
Thanks for posting.

Very nice Andy the scene is well seen and clear the only alteration I would make would be to crop away the right half of the image. TFS

Personal assessment of the photo: more tha great. I think it is the first time on TN we can see a ladybug with prays.
Good visual impact.
Aptness of the photo for the site: excellent.
Personal assessment of the note: complete.
Thank you Andy for sharing this picture and for the enjoyment which it give us.

Come over here darling.... :) I can see the ladybug just trying to get to those aphids. I think they have run out of space and luck. :) Its an impressive capture and the DOF is perfect such a nice shot, Andy. Very well done.

Nice shot, but it would have been much better to frame it more on the left to avoid all the empty space on the right side.
Well done.
TFS.

Andy, maybe I have already told you I've been looking for one of them for quite a long time, but, so far, I couldn't find one.

A great picture. They are very lovely and beautiful, and you did great.
